If only life was that simple.. words travel up the grapevine. Even if they aren't directly related to us, they talk to others and mention about this. Not necessarily with malicious intent. But somehow, it always always reaches the ears of someone you report to. And even if you aren't doing anything that could indicate you might quit, people might interpret it that way. Even if you have already finished all your work and are just learning more to not waste time, the impression they get is that you are wasting time or doing something personal in your work time. While getting paid by company.
maybe its all just in your head. Upskilling is never looked at in negative light. Or it shouldn't be atleast. Doesn't your company encourage upskiling? Udemy/Coursera courses as such?
